Anyone know when the Saints game has been moved to? Was supposed to go to the original date.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Unannounced. Talk of it being in the same week as the City away game just before the last game of the season.

Could turn out to be..

Sat 13th May - Spurs away
Tues 16th - Saints away
Thurs 18th - City away
Sun 21st - Palace home

Mental!

Not with your squad

You know what? Bring on the fixture congestion!
W can handle it. We have the squad.
Sure there will be some sort of heartbreak... but hey, wouldn't want it any other way.
UTD competing on all fronts, (almost,...sort of)..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well said..................it is exactly the sort of congestion United have faced before when at their best under Fergie competing on all fronts...........

Tough schedule!

Surely one of City or Southampton will be penned in for April?

And people want a winter break

Time the league cup was scrapped tbh.

ours won't...don't see your point...my point was we just happened to already be planned to play Monday...as we are the Monday prior

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't get where your confusion is. Everbody has a penciled in game for that weekend in the league I thought. However they are rearranged if you or your opponent is still in the cup.

Or am I confusing this with another thing altogether?

Good news is that if City do beat Huddersfield they'll also be playing 4 games in that week

Naa...it's 6 and two 3's

I think it would make sense if teams in Europe didn't qualify for it. We must be the only major league that has 2 domestic cups as well as 20 teams in league.

If Chelsea beat United in the Cup then ourr fixtures for April will probably look like this:

Saturday April 1st Palace (H)
Wednesday April 5th City (H)
Saturday April 8th Bournemouth (A)
Wednesday April 12th Watford (H)
Sunday April 16th United (A)
Sunday April 23rd FA Cup Semi Final
Sunday April 30th Everton (A)

Pi$$es me off when I hear managers or fans bleating about fixture congestion.
The alternative is that you are out of all the cup competition. Look at Stoke's fixtures, no congestion there Which would you prefer ?
